SPARK: Accepting Submissions
SPARK is an exciting new voice in the Salem, Mid-Valley, and greater Oregon culture.
We long to create a well-written, professionally designed, hip, literate magazine which will delve into the community, art, music, and culture that surrounds us.
It is being designed as a cutting edge publication We want to add to the vitality and spark of our community by capturing and sharing the (sometimes hidden) spirit that surrounds us. We want to break barriers, push boundaries, pull back curtains, and shine a light into the misty memories.
There is so much intrigue, excitement, creativity, mystery, passion, goodness, beauty, titillation, and yes, weirdness that surrounds us, and we feel that this story needs to be told: through narrative non-fiction, through creative photography, and through graphic art.
We are currently seeking contributors of all kinds: writers, editors, graphic artists, photographers, visual artists, volunteers...EVERYTHING! If you have it in you to create, we want you! VERY much!(We do accept submissions from writers in Portland, Eugene or elsewhere. We also accept stories that are not necessarily about Salem, Corvallis, or the Mid-Valley BUT that IS our primary focus.)
